More Dire Seawatching (24th September)

I rushed down to do some seawatching after lectures and just about squeezed in a short shift from 18:30-19:35. 2 Balearic Shearwaters moving west through the bay were the highlight and a distant Commic Tern would have been a Fal Tick. 2 Gannets and there was a large roost of Herring Gulls and Great Black-backed Gulls. A flock of 30 Oystercatchers heading for the Carrick Roads rounded the evening off.
